What to expect
You'll be briefed on buggy handling before setting out into Teide's dramatic volcanic country, navigating dirt and gravel tracks with panoramic views unfolding as altitude builds. The terrain is rough but manageable—your guide handles navigation and safety. Expect dust, noise, and the satisfying challenge of steering across open ground. On the return leg, the pace slows considerably as you arrive at a working Canarian bodega. Here you'll taste several local wines in a genuine production setting, paired with regional tapas that reflect island tradition.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and closed-toe shoes with grip. The buggy ride is bumpy; those with back sensitivity should consider this. Wine tastings occur at a genuine working winery, not a tourist-focused venue. Photographs are available for separate purchase after finishing.
